Bridal Make-up Artistry Services
After all, the biggest day of your life is on its way. When preparing for a wedding, most women spend weeks, even months choosing the right dress. Then they'll spend weeks trying to find the perfect shoes. Then time is spent selecting the wardrobe for the entire bridal party! Every bride wants to have the perfect wedding day, and we think nothing of booking our hair appointment months in advance. Yet with so much to organise for the big day, the church, wedding dress, flowers, caterers to name a few most brides forget the most important aspect of the day how they will achieve a stunning flawless look themselves.
Many times the anticipation leading up to the wedding is as much fun as the event itself!
I know you would not dream of waiting until the last minute to find the perfect wedding dress, but that's exactly what many women do when it comes to planning their bridal make-up. I want to make sure you're not one of them, you have to be prepared for your big day. It's important to find the perfect look ahead of time. You do not necessarily have to try something new, but you should fine tune your look to ensure that it will look perfect and last all day.
You can’t realise the big picture without concentrating on the finer points, you need to spare a few thoughts for the small things to, like your make-up.
I can help you look perfect on your wedding day by taking the stress and worry out of your big day, wondering if your make-up will look great on the photographs? Will my make-up last the day? Will my foundation last throughout the day Or disappear if I cry? Will my mascara run?
How can I help you?
I hold a First Class Honours Bachelor of Arts in Makeup degree so that you can be confident that I am professionally trained qualified media make-up artist and I specialise in High Definition work for the film and T.V. industry so I know what looks good on camera as most brides now have a wedding video also taken. I am a member of both NASMAH—the national association of screen make-up artists and hairdressers and The Guild of Professional Beauty Therapists.
What services do you offer?
I offer a range of professional services for your wedding day from consultation, traditional make-up artistry to the revolutionary airbrush make-up from Hollywood on the day either at your home or your chosen venue for the wedding. The choice is yours and I will be happy to discuss this with you.
With wedding photographs costing on average between £800 - £5000 and the cost of your Bridal outfit that's a tidy some so you need to ensure that your make-up will reflect your true bridal beauty and be appropriate and look great on your photographs that will last you a lifetime. That's where I come in to help you and take the stress out of your big day worries.
What is airbrush make-up?
It’s a revolutionary new make-up technique of the 21st century. Used by professional make-up artists for over a decade in entertainment, film, TV and photography. The make-up gives you a better, longer lasting result with the pass of an airbrush. It gives fabulous natural results, it’s sprayable cosmetics that’s lighter than air, this is a cosmetics breakthrough.
Airbrush make-up has terrific coverage and gives results that cannot be achieved by conventional make-up techniques. The make-up will last more than 12 hours. The make-up is hypoallergenic, alcohol and oil free and is not tested on animals. Even tattoos and skin conditions such as vitilago, port wine stains, and burns can be made to vanish. Recommended by dermatologists and plastic surgeons for use after surgery because it safely covers scars.
Using both MAC Pro Micronised airbrush a cutting edge silicone based airbrush formula and Dinair brings you air-choice! Once your flawless base has been achieved I can spray any colour you want to shape and shadow your eyes. Air shadowing eyes giving the power back to any woman who had forgotten just how powerful eyes can be. Air-shading emphasizes and shapes eyes. The colours can be shaded like fine art. Air-blushers add subtle colour to the cheeks and air-foundations are used for contouring, highlighting and corrective make-up to create a perfect canvass.
It's all about power. Nothing's more powerful than eyes. A mother's eyes. A child's eyes. A lover's look. The eyes through which the soul shines.
